I'm not sure when it was invented, it appears in some books, but not in others. Maybe a door? 8-)

In my opinion, a mint stamp is just like it came out of the printing machine, which means never hinged is not necessary. The USA has some stamps that have the cancellation as part of the stamp. Some the gum is a bit difficult to see. Many countries precancel stamps as part of the printing process and sell them the same price as mint stamps. In my opinion again, once a precancel stamp leaves the postal service control it is a used stamp. Ralphael, the OLD one
